Sasha just mixed Fabric 99 and Its actually pretty good apart from the vocal breaks track at the end of the mix which is apparently a new tune off his label.

Favourite house tune lately, Joy Orbison in collaboration with Ben Vince on Saxaphone. 2 solid woozy experimental tunes and first vinyl I've purchased in a few months

I wonder who will be on charge for #100...

the mix that broke Sasha to a larger audience b4 he went all progressive/epic, also a rare case of an MC actually clicking with a House jock

probably Craig Richards I'd guess, or maybe a few discs.

It's also the last in the series.

What's your/watmms take on progressive house? Just curious. It seems like such a far encompassing style that it's hard to categorize often (which I think makes it exciting).

What comes to mind for me when I think of progressive house stems from when it took off in the early to mid 90s. Of course the cliches-- bell synths/pads, slow builds/transitions, on the darker moodier side with more poetic lyrics and vocals, atmospheric.

It's changed flavor over the years of course. Elements of trance, electro, chill, etc. Really anything can be progressive depending on the structures and attitudes. I'd even call some 80s and early 90s deep house progressive as much of it truly was. Evolving, long, complex, heady.

Nowadays it seems to be hone in more on the Uber clean emotional poppy vocal, with beach/Palm tree asthetics lol. A lot of it is samey and uninspired, but some of it is lush as hell. Maybe far from the spirit of house of course, but often an ambitious excercise in euphoric trance/electro-house tropes and structures.

Can't forget those deep progressive tribal house vibes or tech house. Even minimal.can be progrrssive haha... Fuck me, there's so much progressive stuff out there I would vote to kill the phrase entirely lol.

Figured I'd spam my mix thread here, lots of classic and modern house, check it out!

a mixed bag like a lot of music depending on labels & jocks, if you're in the mood to dig "Flying Records" & "Guerilla" releases are worth sifting through, but there's a minor caveat (see below)

https://www.discogs.com/label/7260-Flying-Records-UK?page=1&genre=All&limit=500

https://www.discogs.com/label/621-Guerilla

something sketchy happened round about 1994, maybe a collective comedown with certain London music industry types rinsing a sound until it was dead on its feet, but have a rummage for mixes by a DJ called Fabi Paras on Youlube for a taste

unfortunately Progressive (even the tag sounds a tad naff) morphed into the later Sasha/Digweed "Epic" bs that is frankly inexcusable, but Junior Boys Own skirted that sound signature although they were canny enough not to over-indulge it

have a gander at those labels & their releases between inception up to about '94 & there are bound to be bits you'd like, i aint at home so record crate digging isnt possible, but i'm sure you'll navigate what takes yer fancy

the date specific angle isnt nostalgia or snobbery, more that theres a world of shit after a certain time period & life's too short

Nice... Thanks for the links- will definitely check those out. Speaking of Guerilla Records, I stumbled into this LP today. Really great acid prog house. Kinda like a more contemporary and minimal version of 808 state. groovy one around 25:14

Also, kinda unrelated, been rocking this. In love with the EP
